Episode notes

In older people, even if they consume a lot of protein, it doesn't seem to trigger the exact same muscle protein synthesis as it does in younger people. The way to do it naturally and safely is to basically balance it, just as we said, with something like, let's say gelatin. So when these women were consuming just 20 grams of gelatin daily, the levels of these amino acids, which are biomarkers of muscle breakdown, drastically declined. But long story short, if you lower the inflammation in an elderly person, this restores their response to the anabolic response to protein.

This week, Paul has Georgi Dinkov back on the podcast for the third time to cover a plethora of topics: the benefits versus risks of carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, the root causes of diabetes and cancer, and so much more.
